Li Yang was recounting his past experiences when suddenly, the crystal in his mind trembled. "Li Yang, there's something I need you to do." This voice? "Progenitor?" "You can call me that, or you can call me Sect Master." Seeing Li Yang's sudden silence, Zhou Mo was puzzled. "What's wrong, Brother Li?" Li Yang raised a finger to his lips. "The Sect Master is talking to me." Zhou Mo wasn't one to intrude. However, at this moment, a familiar female voice echoed in his mind, Qi Youluo. Or rather, the Holy Mother of Chongling. "Zhou Mo, Master has a new mission for you."
"I already know the details of that guy named Li Yang beside you. His Sect Master is the Mystery of the Lost City." "And just this morning, an even greater Mystery was born in the Lost City." "But that's not important. What's important is that a Mystery has fallen from the Weak Light level to the No Light level." "Its growth rate is astonishing, and it's constantly splitting and creating衍体. If it's allowed to grow like this, it could reach the 'Deep Sea' level." Zhou Mo frowned. "What level is the Deep Sea level?" "Like… ascending to Godhood." "The Fourth Order Deep Sea is a huge leap. Once a Mystery reaches the Deep Sea level, it can overpower everything below the Deep Sea." "So, you must kill it before it reaches the Deep Sea." "I'm going to kill a No Light level?!" "Me?!" Zhou Mo pointed at himself, completely stunned. "You can't do it alone, of course." "That Mystery is called the Yellow Spring Serpent. It has close ties to the Sect Master behind the person next to you." "Give him a hand, preferably infiltrate the Lost City, and then… let me feel the strength of the King." What Qi Youluo and Zhou Mo were talking about was essentially the same thing as what the Ancient Progenitor told Li Yang. "Hunt down the Yellow Spring Serpent's cubs?" Li Yang frowned. "That's right, this is the first mission I'm giving you as Sect Master." "Rest assured, our ability system is above the Yellow Spring Serpent's ability system. They are just the King's pets." "But the King has just been resurrected and is not yet proficient in using the Aether Crystal. It will take some time to adapt."
"Therefore, we must not let the Yellow Spring Serpent reach the Fourth Order Deep Sea before the King." "Water can extinguish fire when it's abundant, and fire can burn water when it's strong. Although our abilities are restrained by those worms, if they reach the Deep Sea level, they can also feed on us." Li Yang was silent for a moment. "So what exactly do you want me to do?" "It's simple, find the serpent's descendants and bring the essence of the ore from their bodies back to the Lost City." "Then the King will have his own way to lure the Ancestral Serpent. Before that, the King needs to adapt to this new body, and I need to stay by the King's side to protect our King." "Use the crystal's ability to help you find the serpent's descendants. You must act quickly." "Remember, when the King returns to the Deep Sea, all Mysteries will submit to the Immortal King, without exception." … After the Sect Master finished transmitting the message, Li Yang and Zhou Mo looked at each other. "Yellow Spring Serpent?" "Okay, it really is this…" Zhou Mo said, plopping down into a chair. "My Sect Master said the Ancestral Serpent is very dangerous. Once it advances to the Deep Sea level, we're all done for, so we have to find a way to kill it." Li Yang nodded. "Same here, but my Sect Master has a way to deal with the Ancestral Serpent, but only if I help him get the serpent eggs." Zhou Mo frowned. "Serpent eggs?" "A kind of mineral crystal. Serpents feed on minerals, and the essence of the minerals will condense into crystals in their bodies. That's the serpent egg." Li Yang said, releasing his force field to sense the metal elements underground. "This essence can also be said to be metal essence. My ability can sense metal, but as I'm still at the Light level, my ability range is limited and I can't sense too deep underground." At this moment, both of their phones rang at the same time. The two took out their phones and saw that it was from 'Prophet'. The Prophet was Chen Ye, and he also gave the two a mission. Unsurprisingly, it was also related to the Yellow Spring Serpent. "Brother Li… since things have come to this, why don't we eat first?" … In the north, in a village in Fengtian Province. It was noon, and the summer sun was baking the earth like a biscuit, even causing the air to ripple with distortion. An old farmer wearing a straw hat looked up at the sun, beads of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead, even the yellow-black skin, ravaged by ultraviolet rays, was glistening. "This damn weather…" "The crops are all dried up. The harvest is getting smaller every year, but the price of grain isn't going up at all." As the old farmer spoke, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble! Rumble!
"What's going on, an earthquake?!" As the old farmer spoke, the next second, a huge crack tore open in the ground! The crack continued to widen, and all the surrounding soil and crops began to fall into the crack! The old farmer knelt on the ground, unable to withstand the violent shaking! Then, a behemoth burst out of the ground, with metal-like black scales all over its body and a huge, snake-like head! "Hmm… it's so itchy, so itchy!" The giant serpent monster spoke in human language, its huge body directly tumbling on the ground, causing an earth-shattering scene! The old farmer was completely dumbfounded by this scene. He had worked hard for most of the year, but now it was completely destroyed by this unknown monster! "My, my land?!" "Beast!!" Hearing the old farmer's roar, the giant, snake-like monster turned its head to look at him. "Hahaha, humans are so fragile… I just scratched my back, and you're so anxious?" The old farmer picked up a hoe with red eyes. "Beast… my old wife is counting on me to farm to see a doctor, but you, you!!" The serpent let out a shrill laugh. "Hehehehe, I am the Mountain God, the King of the Earth, the Lord of the Spiral. You dare to wield weapons against me instead of kneeling before me?" The old farmer was furious. "I don't care if you're a Mountain God or a Dog God, destroying my crops is cutting off my livelihood. I'm going to fight you!!" The serpent stuck out its tongue in front of the old farmer, the tongue curled up, and it actually contained a piece of glittering gold! The old farmer was stunned when he saw this. "Human, if you kneel before me, then you can enjoy the gold and silver mountains under my body." The old farmer tremblingly took the gold. "Re, real gold?!" "Moun, Mountain God-sama!!" The old farmer knelt on the ground with a 'thump', kowtowing to the monster repeatedly. "Mountain God-sama has manifested, Mountain God-sama has manifested…" "Hahahaha!!" The serpent raised its head and let out a long laugh. "Humans, in the end, are nothing more than this. A pile of scrap metal can make you submit?" "Children!" As the serpent spoke, a pile of small snakes and insects emerged from the ground and surrounded the old farmer! The old farmer's pupils shrank when he saw this. "Moun, Mountain God… what are you doing?" The serpent lowered its head. "Worshiping the gods may have rewards, but blaspheming the gods also has punishment, my children!" "Taste the taste of humans!"
